This week will be an easy one as far as meal planning goes. I will be out of town in a few days so the cooking will be on someone else - hooray!
Therefore, I will keep things simple and only try one new meal and two new snacks. However, I'll still be posting great, new recipes for you to enjoy along with a hilarious learning tip too! Here's how the calendar will go:
Monday, Feb. 14 - Valentine's Day: We're having takeout and eating dinner at home- either sushi or Greek food. I will, however make my husband's favorite dessert for him - banana toffee squares (Recipe is in my cookbook).
Tuesday, Feb. 15 - My Homemade Slow Cooker Chili
Wednesday, Feb. 16 - Greek Chicken Gyros and Quinoa Salad - This is very NEW for me. I've never cooked with quinoa or make my own tzatziki sauce before!
Thursday, Feb. 17 - Traveling - will eat out
Friday, Feb. 18 - Family Dinner Outing
Saturday, Feb. 19 - Traveling - will eat out
Sunday, Feb. 20 - Traveling - will eat out
Monday, Feb. 21 - Eat from freezer - Unstuffed Peppers Casserole (Recipe is from my cookbook)
AND
Here are the snacks that I will make before we do some traveling:
(1) Cranberry Oatmeal Bars - These look yummy. Best of all, I have all the ingredients on hand!
(2) Dirt Cupcakes - I'm making these for a group of kids - for a playdate that I'm hosting on Wednesday
(3) No-Bake Granola Bars - If I have time I will make a new batch of these to bring with us while we travel over the weekend!
Everyone have a wonderful week! I am going to enjoy my time away from the kitchen and the opportunity to read for hours in the car!
Hey Mandy! New decor, I'm liking it! Let me know what you think of the quinoa, it is such a great nutritious grain packed with protein and calcium. I really should eat it more...
ReplyDeleteHave safe travels - anywhere fun? Puppy was short-lived, unfortunately. She was such a good little thing but I ended up being allergic so I found her a family that had a big yard, another dog to play with and kids so definitely better for her, but still so sad!
